Over the next few decades the number of people living in cities will nearly double. Yet even today many cities lack sufficient clean drinking water, electricity and other basic resources essentially needed to support the exploding populations and stable strengthen economy.
These problems are created by rampant urbanization and are amongst the most important challenges of our times. These problems represent greatest responsibilities for the emerging business models by positioning them to shape the sustainable economic landscape of the future.
Across the world addressing resource scarcity involves either government action or private-sector action and either increasing the resource base or managing the demand by reducing and reutilizing. A vast opportunity exists for the private sector to provide products and services that make the most efficient use of available resources.
How Digital is an Accelerator for Circular Economy @High Performance Digital...Joost Brinkman
The Circular Economy is inevitable. The question is not if but when your business model will become obsolete and if you are fast enough to adopt and create sustainable business from this new economic model. Digital is the accelerator to change your current linear business model to a circular model. Be the change you want to see in the world! For questions : you know how to find me!

Circular Economy is here to stay. From an environmental aspect its the right thing to do, but more important there is an enormous economic value to capture. Reducing risks of price volatility, creating better customer relationships, capturing value over the lifespan of a product are a couple of advantages that Circular Economy can deliver.
The key technologies and capability shifts that are supporting a transformation from a linear to a circular business model are based on an extensive research by Accenture among 125 circular pioneers. The results were presented at the CircularEconomy conference in Rotterdam. For questions: Feel free to reach out!

Sustainable supply chain management in a circular economy slide shareAnna Aminoff
Presentation slides in KES SDM 2016 conference
Abstract: In the last few years, the circular economy has attracted increasing attention as a way to overcome the problems of the current production and consumption model based on continuous growth and increasing resource throughput. A circular economy is an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design. Although supply chains are the key unit of action in the change towards a circular economy, the academic literature on supply chain management approaches in a circular economy is very much in its infancy. However, two distinct literature streams, namely sustainable supply chain management and product service systems, seem to offer valua-ble insights into the investigation of supply chain management in a circular economy. The aim of this paper is to analyse the main characteristics and challenges of supply chain management in a circular economy and identify how these two literature streams can contribute to researching it.

My small contribution to remind all of us the importance of saving mankind by putting STOP to female infanticide. My presentation has some statistics to support my argument and they might be old but alarming enough and the ways to bring about the change in the mindset of people at large.
My major concern is the changing lifestyle of urban India where women themselves opt for sex determination as they prefer to have a single child and this menace gets unnoticed.
The presentation concludes with some suggestions for bringing the desired change. I hope and pray that we all get serious about this issue before it is too late
Thank You
The true test of your leadership is after you have gone. Do you remain in the hearts of your followers? Is the stick passed on to follow the vision or does it die with you?

Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings!
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce Jagran Education Foundation, an educational initiative of “Dainik Jagran”, world largest read Hindi Daily Newspaper enlightening the masses and spreading the wings of education for more than 3 decades in India.
Jagran Education Foundation established under aegis of Shri Puran Chandra Gupta Smarak Trust is providing educational excellence integrating the entire education value chain from schools to colleges to professional and vocational education.
It has always been our endeavour to invite luminaries who have contributed significantly in bringing the change for the upliftment of the society at large.
Jagran Institute of Management, Kanpur a constituent of JEF is planning to hold a Conference in the month of December 2016 themed “GOVERNANCE IN TRANSITION - from Compliance to Accountability”
We are looking for luminaries and eminent speakers who can be part of this Conference. People interested to participate can share their mail ID and we will get back to them. In case you are being selected as one of the speakers your itinerary will be taken care off
Looking forward for your valuable participation
India has manpower of 1.2 billion and it is ironic that still we suffer from dearth of talent? Only 10% of MBA graduates of the country are employable
17& of Engineering graduates are employable. The enormity of the challenge that India will face in year 2026 can be imagined when 64.8% of India’s population would be in the working age of 15-64 years.
Impact of rising demographics on employment
By 2020 out of 1.3 billion people in India we will have about 0.8 billion in the working age and that is surely something the world can look forward to.
Quality of workforce is more important than quantity. In fact having a lower head count of skilled manpower is much better than a manpower whose larger portion is unemployable.
India will heading for a skill gap of 75-80% across Industry sectors. There will be people but with skills that corporate do not require, and jobs for which the right fit is not available. The economic impact of this vicious cycle is something like powerhouse of educated yet frustrated youth who are directionless with no jobs in hand is unimaginable.
Matching the skill levels of the supply side and the demand side of Talent Supply Chain
Personal Responsibility is about taking conscious control of our responses to the events and circumstances in our life. We are responsible for ourselves for what we do with our life and for what we have done already is up to us.
Accepting personal responsibility for our life is actually quite liberating as viewed by the notion of “responsibility” in a negative way as it is a matter of obligation or of having duties.
Why it is good to be personally responsible?
1. By accepting personal responsibility, we gain the freedom to create our own life the way we wanted it to be. When we admit to ourselves that we are solely responsible for our life, we immediately recognize how much control we really do have. Personal responsibility is the foundation for personal development. By acknowledging our role in the process, we give ourselves the opportunity to improve and CHANGE.
2. By accepting personal responsibility, we are willingly and without any hesitation acknowledging our deeds including our mistakes. If we do so then we develop a reputation for being the person who accepts responsibility for his actions, and surprisingly in the process people will often simply ignore the fact that you did really made a mistake altogether.
3. By accepting personal responsibility, we stay more in control.
There are all sorts of negative emotions that come with not accepting personal responsibility. When we blame others, we may feel anger or resentment towards that person. The worst part about denying responsibility is an overall sense of powerlessness. When we feel like we don’t have control over our life, then we easily become victim of depression.

Reverse Inventory Management & Financial Implications
Reverse logistics refers to the process by which a company recycles, refurbishes and resells products that are spoilt or old. Reverse logistics is advantageous to a company as it add them a competitive advantage over its competitors by adding them trust from their customers. Reverse Logistics is therefore a strategy that will be adopted by most companies in future as a way to add them profitability.
The concept of reverse logistics began decades back the late 1800. Reverse logistics originated from the military sector at the end of the American Civil War. According to General William, the supply chain hindered the nature of his army campaigns and he had difficulties in supplying the soldiers into the hostile communities. Later in 1872, the concept of reverse logistics began its operations in the retail market. Later on in 1942, during the world war, countries began to experience shortages in the automobile industry whereby, there were shortages of the automobile parts. For this reason, there was need to create and rebuild the automotive parts then sell them to the consumers (Corrêa & Xavier, 2013).
In 1984, McNeil Laboratories responded to the Tylenol scare by getting the tainted products off the shelves of shops and replaced them with new products. This action was all over the new and for this reason, it increased the use of reverse logistics by companies in America. The Tylenol scare was the period when the Tylenol capsules were filled with cyanide, which is highly poisonous, and the consumption of these products led to death of many people. it was after this in the year 1991 that the federal government of Germany made in a must for companies to look for ways to recycle products. The recycle program was meant to reduce the environmental reverse flows and the European Union supported this legislation. In the next decade starting from 2000, reverse logistics was more adopted by the business sector as a strategy to counter competition in various industries (Corrêa & Xavier, 2013). Until date, reverse logistics is used as a way to refurbish and remanufacture the unused products. It also acts as a corporate social responsibility by various companies.
Reverse logistics consist of various elements that fall under the umbrella of reverse logistics. One of the elements is returns. A company such Dell Company that specializes in manufacturing of electronics may supply their electronics to the final consumer. However, in the mist of the supply, there may be breakages and the consumers will return the breakages to the company. In this case, the electronics that are taken back to the company are k.
Resource Efficiency - The new watchword of sustainabilityRamon Arratia
There’s a growing global consensus that we’re at a crossroads on the environment. Not only do we face the increasingly urgent challenge of climate change, but we are also witnessing unprecedented demands on energy and fuel, water and material resource scarcity, huge population and life expectancy growth, concerns about food security, and a growing consumerism in the East that is putting an added strain on the global store of raw materials.
Resource productivity improvements could satisfy nearly 30% of demand by 2030.
Recent rises in global GDP and inroads into tackling poverty have largely been achieved by increasing economic growth. But the resource- dependent models that have allowed this to happen can no longer be sustained. In the past, increases in productivity have often come through more efficient use of labour, but the opportunity for further gains here is limited. To continue to make progress we need to squeeze more out of the resources at our disposal.
‘Resource efficiency’ will become the new watchword of sustainability. Accenture and the World Economic Forum recently produced a report looking at how to make consumption more sustainable by decoupling growth from environmental impact. They suggested that $2 trillion manufacturers of products that worth of economic output could be at risk by 2030 if major global economies fail to respond to shortages in the supply of just one resource - iron (and, more importantly, the steel that comes from it). This demonstrates the scale of the challenge we are up against. Accenture and the WEF conclude that ‘the need for rapid action to shift towards a resource-efficient economy is high’ - and that despite some successes to date, ‘change is now. More positively, greater resource efficiency also creates a business opportunity; it improves productivity, reduces costs and enhances competitiveness. If companies are less dependent on the availability of certain raw materials, they are less vulnerable to supply fluctuations and hikes in prices. This in turn means they can offer customers a more reliable supply of their products.
This is the second part of the Cost management series of article. One of the main purposes of cost information system is to support the decision making process. Cost information is normally required for three purposes: decision support, cost control/cost reduction and statutory requirement.
To be competitive, a company must know its sources of profit and understand its cost structure. Key decision makers must also be aware of how informed their decisions are. Further, they must be able to answer how they landed in a profit or loss making situation.
Among some of the world’s top corporate leaders, there’s a growing understanding that traditional business models—built on the presumption of unlimited and cheap natural resources—must be reworked for 21st century realities. The circular economy represents a markedly different way of doing business, replacing established practices like planned obsolescence with new approaches to generating profits. This report examines how brands from Puma and Ford to Ikea and Starbucks are becoming more circular, why this concept is gaining more adherents now and implications for brands. The circular economy is an important topic not only because the approach is far better for the planet but also because tapping into its principles may well be essential to long-term competitiveness.

#deathbypowerpoint #badpresentation #visualtool When an audience remains emotionally disconnected from the content that is being presented, there is a good chance that the speaker has either not spent enough time and effort thinking about which key points he wants the audience to take away -- or he has spent entirely too much time and effort setting up the presentation in PowerPoint, incorporating every feature and display option the software provides. Key contributors to death by PowerPoint include confusing graphics, slides with too much text, and presenters whose idea of a good presentation is to read 40 slides out loud. Death by PowerPoint is easily recognized by observing the audience members' glazed eyes, furtive use of smartphones Death by PowerPoint can be avoided if the speaker uses the technology as a visual aid to enhance what is being said, instead of relying on the technology to serve as the focus of the presentation.

Machine learning has been around for a long time. It got its start in 1959 when Arthur Samuel wondered if computers could learn human behavior instead of being programmed to do specific tasks.
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science which focuses on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy. Machine learning is an important component of the growing field of data science. Through the use of statistical methods, algorithms are trained to make classifications or predictions, uncovering key insights within data mining projects. These insights subsequently drive decision-making within applications and businesses, ideally impacting key growth metrics. As big data continues to expand and grow, the market demand for data scientists will increase, requiring them to assist in the identification of the most relevant business questions and subsequently the data to answer them.
The presentation will allow you to develop conceptual clarity towards Machine Learning. In case you have any queries or would like to share your views then please feel free to reach me at: vinod.kr.sharma@gmail.com.

Artificial Intelligence is “a core, transformative way by which we’re rethinking how we’re doing everything” - Google CEO Sundar Pichai
The development and daily applications of artificial intelligence have become a mainstay in our everyday lives. More than a thing of science fiction, it’s become a field of real-world dreamers making dreams come true.
The surge of innovation pulsing through the tech community has followed the growth of systems that perform complex activities that we can only compare with “thinking.” They are thinking systems. These activities include problem-solving, speech recognition, sensory perception, learning, and reasoning that we previously only associated with humanity.
Network effects have emerged as the native defense in the digital world. If you’re starting or investing in a business, don’t start it until you’ve thought thoroughly about how to design it with one or more of the core network effects. Then think about how every additional feature you build could add value to the other users of your product. That way of thinking about business and product design puts you on the road to true defensibility and massive impact and value creation.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to inflate. More than 175 countries have reported cases of COVID-19 and the number of cases has accelerated to more than 735,000 with more than 35,000 deaths. The situation is developing by the day.
The coronavirus is not only a health crisis but it’s also an impending concern that is continuously restructuring the global economic order.
So the big question is what should it take to traverse this crisis when the traditional metrics and assumptions have been rendered irrelevant?
The answer is a CALL TO ACT from the crisis of today to the normalcy. We need to think and act across the workable solutions and possibilities:
The unprecedented impact of Covid-19 on education systems around the world has affected more than 1.6 billion students representing 91% of all students in the world. World over Education is experiencing Non-Linear Changes.
COVID -19 has given a death blow to Higher Education by attacking the essential element of social connection on which the university and higher education system thrives forcing the world over all the universities within 7 to 10 days to go for online education. At the moment, universities are focused on ensuring academic continuity for students through “emergency remote teaching.”
The big question that arises is that will this Online Teaching be able to produce lasting change?
This is the dissertation project report of my student MR. AGAM MISHRA - MBA Final Yr. on “A Study of Innovative EdTech Start-Ups & Businesses in the Emerging Markets and Economies” with Special reference of Covid-19 Pandemic. I am publishing this on his behalf and really appreciate it if you all can appreciate his sincere efforts.
ADMISSION COUNSELLING
University Admission to UG and PG program and other courses starts from March onwards in India. University admission or college admission is the process through which students enter tertiary education at universities and colleges.
Most likely you as an applicant seeking admission in any college or university will be interacting with the Admission Counsellor. The main work of the admission counselor is to advise and help the applicant in assisting with queries related to curriculum, professors and much more. Admission counselor is just like a mentor or a guide to help applicant throughout the college application and admission process.
From our personal experience, we have noticed that the counselors need rigorous training for dealing with the applicants so that they can appreciate their concerns and accordingly resolve them to the best of their abilities. We have recently conducted a training program for the admission counselors for a private university and we are happy to share the presentation for your valuable views and suggestions.

Restorable and sustainable economy
1. From Disposable to Restorable Economy – Sustainable Economy
Abstract
Over the next few decades the number of people living in cities will nearly double. Yet even
today many cities lack sufficient clean drinking water, electricity and other basic resources
essentially needed to support the exploding populations and stable strengthen economy.
These problems are created by rampant urbanization and are amongst the most important
challenges of our times. These problems represent greatest responsibilities for the emerging
business models by positioning them to shape the sustainable economic landscape of the
future.
Across the world addressing resource scarcity involves either government action or private-
sector action and either increasing the resource base or managing the demand by reducing
and reutilizing. A vast opportunity exists for the private sector to provide products and
services that make the most efficient use of available resources.
Article
Increasingly our existing approach to industrialization has now been questioned like never
before. Clearly, the era of largely ignoring resource costs is over as some three billion
consumers from the developing world will enter the middle class by 2030. The
unprecedented size and impact of this shift will certainly squeeze companies between rising
and less predictable commodity prices, on the one hand, and blistering competition and
unpredictable demand, on the other.
The industrial economy as a massive system directs materials and energy from resource-rich
countries to manufacturing powerhouses, and then spirits the resulting products to other
destinations, where they are used, discarded, and replaced and that is the essence of the
linear, one-way production model that has dominated global manufacturing since the onset
of the Industrial Revolution.
Volatile markets for resources, and their fast depletion has forced economist to think about
a new sustainable economic model. Some companies are questioning the assumptions that
how can they make and sell products that allows them to keep control over valuable natural
resources. One possible way is to reuse products and components leading to questions like:
Could economic growth be decoupled from resource constraints?
Could an industrial system that is regenerative by design practically exist?
A regenerative economic model can help companies create more value while reducing their
dependence on scarce resources.
Shifting from Disposable to Restoration and Sustainable Economy —Reusability and not
Consumption based economy which restores, recycle and reuses material, energy, and
labour input by shifting assumption of disposability with restoration.
More precisely we are talking about moving away from the “Take, Make, and Dispose”
economics to model that designs and optimize products for multiple cycles of disassembly
and reuse.
2. Such model that designs and optimize products for multiple cycles of disassembly and reuse
view materials as valuable stock that can be used again, and not as elements that flow
through the economy once. To visualize about the scale involved, consider the fast-moving
consumer-goods industry about 80 percent of the $3.2 trillion worth of materials it uses
each year is not recovered.
Restorable and Sustainable Economy aims to eradicate waste—not just from
manufacturing processes, but systematically, throughout the various life cycles and uses of
products and their components. Often, what might otherwise be called waste becomes
valuable feedstock for successive steps.
Easier said than done indeed, tight component and product cycles of use and reuse, will
have to be aided by product design, that helps defining the concept of a sustainable
economy and distinguish it from recycling, which loses large amounts of embedded energy
and labour.
Restorable and Sustainable Economy lays its foundation by strictly differentiating between
a product’s consumable and durable components. Manufacturers in a traditional economy
don’t distinguish between the two. In a sustainable economy, the goal for consumables is to
use nontoxic and pure components, so they can eventually be returned to the biosphere,
where they could have a replenishing effect. The goal for durable components (metals and
most plastics, for instance) is to reuse for other productive applications through as many
cycles as possible.
Restoration is the default assumption in a Sustainable economy that completely changes
the role of consumer by that of user. For companies, this change requires a different way of
thinking about their implicit contract with customers. For example, in a buy-and-consume
economy, the goal is to sell the product whereas in a sustainable and restorable economy,
the aspiration might be to rent it out to ensure that its materials were returned for reuse.
When products must be sold, companies should create incentives to guarantee their return
and reuse. This might sound very hypothetical but quite a few companies have started
working in this direction by mutually reinforcing to convert theory into hard-hitting
practices.
1. The power of the tight well coordinated inner circle
Remanufactured, Refurbished, or Upgraded Products
Ricoh, a global maker of office machines, designed its Green Line
brand of office copiers and printers to maximize the reusability of products and
components, while minimizing the use of virgin materials. Products returning from
their leasing contracts are inspected, dismantled, and taken through an extensive
refurbishing process that includes replacing components and updating software
before the machines re-enter the market. By designing the components to be reused
3. or recycled in Ricoh facilities, the company reduces the need for new materials in
production and creates a tight “inner circle” of use that allows it to employ less
material, labour, energy, and capital.
Ricoh estimates it could save up to 30 percent on the cost of materials for these
components. Overall, the company says, it’s on track to reduce the input of new
resources in its products by 25 percent below their 2007 levels no later than 2020.

2. The power of circling longer
Maximizing cycles of Reuse, Repair, or Remanufacture
Renault leases batteries for electric cars to recover them more
easily so they can be reengineered or recycled. Keeping close control over the
process helps ensure the product’s quality and gives Renault a chance to strengthen
its ties with customers.

Michelin offers tire upgrades, maintenance, and replacement to
optimize the performance of trucks fleeting across Europe. This helps them in
lowering their total cost of ownership in more than 20 European countries. By
maintaining control over the tires, Michelin can collect them when they wear out
and can extend their technical utility by retreading them for resale. The company
estimates that retreads require half of the raw materials in comparison to new tires
and delivers up to 90 percent of the performance.
www.michelin.in
3. The power of cascaded use
Diversifying reuse of Products and Components across the value chain
Global apparel retailer H&M launched an in-store collection program encouraging
customers to bring in old clothes in exchange for discount vouchers on new H&M
clothing. The majority of items collected are dispatched to the global second hand-
apparel market. Clothes that are no longer suitable to wear are used as substitutes
for virgin materials in other applications—for example, as cleaning cloths and textile
yarns or as inputs for damping and insulation materials in the auto industry or for
pipe insulation in the construction industry.
4. The power of pure inputs
Designing products and components in a way that they can easily be separated
into consumable and durable elements and components
Greater ease of separation into consumables and durables increases the efficiency of
collection and redistribution while maintaining the quality of the materials
Companies should work with their supply partners to create system that support
refurbishing product designs. In general, designing a product to use the purest
4. materials possible helps maintain their residual value and supports recycling and
reuse.
All the discussion so far leads us wondering that despite the potential of the Restorable and
Sustainable Economy seems very promising to replace untapped value through resource
arbitrage, then why isn’t it NOT HAPPENING?
I have extensively read the subject and came to the conclusion that there are several
barriers that have slowed the realization of full potential of such promising economic model.
1. The extensive supply and manufacturing network – Geographical dispersion
A product such as a car is significantly more complex. Understandably, closing
product and component loops for most products is difficult, despite attractive
arbitrage opportunities.
Lack of global standards for reusable materials poses a risk that an efficient and
effective collection, reuse, and recycling process will break down. That is particularly
true in developing countries, where the collection and recycling of valuable end-of-
use materials frequently falls to the informal sector.
Reverse-network activities (moving from products to components to materials)
seems the most likely solution to this problem. Reverse-logistics skills (such as
collection, sorting, remanufacturing, and refurbishment) becomes critical.
One of the success factors in Ricoh’s GreenLine operations as discussed earlier is the
company’s efficient “take-back” system, which optimizes supply and demand for
remanufactured machines. This system requires sophisticated reverse-network-
management capabilities, such as tracking the location and condition of used devices
and components, as well as storing bill-of-materials (BOM) information.
2. Complexity in modern product formulations – Complex materials
Modern product formulations are rarely labelled and are thus extremely difficult to
identify. In the world of plastics, for example, companies have broadened the
spectrum of materials used, in creative and complex ways and all this has
exponentially increased the complexity of materials, while making it hard to classify
and collect those on the scale required in creating arbitrage opportunities.
Moreover, companies often have no cost-efficient way of using chemical or physical
processes to extract embedded raw materials without degrading the product, so
most of the original value is lost.
3. Difficulty in breaking ingrained habits - Status quo
Leasing models are unheard of in many industries, though they benefit both
customers and companies. Ingrained habits within companies such worrying about
the higher levels of capital needed to change products, as well as the friction of
moving from familiar sales- to usage-based approaches is a major issue.
5. The real payoff from Restorable and Sustainable Economy will come only when multiple
players across the business and research communities, supported by policy makers and
investors, come together to re-conceive key manufacturing processes and flows of materials
and products.
Restorable and Sustainable Economy offers tremendous opportunities and benefits
Potential for Net materials savings on a global scale is enormous. The benefits could be
highest in the automotive, machinery and equipment sector.
Supply risks can be mitigated for instance if we take steel consumption in the
automotive, machining, and transport sectors, a restorable transformation could achieve
huge global net materials savings that shift could reduce demand-driven volatility across
these industries.
Potential for Creativity and Innovation will be high as redesigning materials, systems,
and products for reuse is a fundamental requirement of a sustainable economy and
therefore represents a giant opportunity for companies.
More Job will be created by sustainable economy as it will increase local employment,
especially in entry-level and semiskilled jobs, thus addressing a serious issue faced by
many developed countries.
Focusing a collective effort on the leverage points that would have a systemic impact is the
key to unlocking the potential of Restorable and Sustainable Economy.
The Restorable and Sustainable Economy encompasses more than the production and
consumption of goods and services, including a shift from fossil fuels to the use of
renewable energy, and the role of diversity as a characteristic of resilient and productive
economy. A major outcome of this economic model is the notion of optimising systems
rather than components.
Diverse systems, with many connections and scales are more resilient in the face of
external shocks, than systems built simply for efficiency
